totally agree.
The best editing software for equations I've ever seen is latex, and I suspect it's still too slow for taking notes in class.
There used to be these crazy pens that could capture notes (and doodles) to image files... But it'd probrably be easier just to scan them later, as it'd give you a chance to review them anyway.
If some men are getting more than 1 wife, that would mean that more men are getting no wives. This group is more than making up for the higher force of death amongst those that are married.
I'd bet money that they are. This notion that the federal government is a monolith ala Tom Clancy is absurd. You seem to forget that when Clinton came into office the white house still used switchboard operators from the fifties... Why in the world do you think things are any different now? Look at all the holes available for madrid-style terrorist attacks in the city that are overlooked (i.e. Marc train service that allows any fool to bring on unscanned luggage an purchase a ticket on the train in union station for cash with no id). The federal government is run by a bunch of incompetent boobs... always has been, always will be.
Umm... dude, that picture totally shows the temparature as holding steady (and possibly declining... if you look at year over year changes...
The issue here, I think isn't what the picture shows, or the data for three years, rather what the trend is over time... What they are saying is tantamount to saying the three days of small losses in the face of 10 years of stock market gains is a signal of no more gains, or even a collapse of the market. Time series' data can't be looked at individually, the only bit's the relavant is the autocorrelation.
As for linux... I'm lame and use SuSE, but I've been too busy to upgrade and the card wasn't supported... Same result of course, but I expect that with linux, if I had the time, I'm pretty sure that could have gotten any other distro to support it... I'm just too lazy.
their boad of education... I've done a tad more... I've fiddled with the servos. I will do more, but I moved this summer and I'm in the process of rebuilding my new house.
Actually... I bought the wife and ibook before the version of XP ever arrived. I actually like it... it's overpriced, and has some speed issues (compared to intel/linux), but overall I'd say I'm WAY happier with it (for what it is... wife-friendly boxen) than with the XP.
It's behind a firewall, and I don't use IE, or outlook, or any of the miriad IM services on it... In fact, when it's booted as winbox, I use it only to program a basic-stamp PIC, because I'm too lazy/newbie to figure out the linux version... I guess I've got 12 months to figure it out if I want to be perfectly safe.
recently got sick of me complaining about my wife's griping over her complaints with linux, so he sent me copy of XP Home($25 from the company store!).
What really steams my clams about XP after ditching windows in '99 is that the shit doesn't really work any better than linux, IMHO. EXAMPLE: last night I tried to install the drivers for a happauge wintvdvr card. I was following the manual that came with the card... I used their CD, no-joy. I call the friend from MS, to bitch and he says it's because happauge clearly didn't follow MS's rules... they 'offer' classes (I don't know, but I'd guess they're expensive as hell) to help vendors... His solution? Go to the website and download the drivers directly.
My point? What the hell is the difference between this and linux? Oh, right... I get to pay for the privilage, AND I get to use the manufacturer's code/servers to download the drivers.

And another thing...
Why do you let those idiots the build crew touch anything?
being a member of the federal horde, it's my experience that the only 'scripts' that can be used are the ones that are licensed...
In point of fact, in my agency (a large statistical organization), we are not allowed even to use ''R', as it is [I'm paraphasing the refusal email I got when I requested it] "the work of 'hackers', whose code is suspect, and would take too many resources to check it."
Sure it's incompetence, but be careful where you place the blame...
I remember reading recently a study done that suggested that there is a greater chance for a girl to be the outcome of a coupling when the woman was at peak fertility than if she was not.
the researchers then prattled on about this being proof for there being more girls being born than boys, as there are more women giving birth out of wedlock and aren't being pestered for sex... thus concieving perhaps when they aren't most fertile.
Better sparkle-up there, moon-doggie, the 'yuk it up' part reffered [sic] to your lame-ass joke, the 'monkey-boy' part was a reference to some lame-assed movie once saw that had another of your hippie brothers (I think his name was john lithgow) as one of the minor characters.

you forgot the minus sign on the lower bound.
oh my. handwriting recognition of math formulae on a windows 7 platform running on a ibook pro... Can't imagine any problems there...

But if we didn't go to war, our cities would have been decimated by WMD...
oh right.
And more to the point, what are we going to do about Terrorists blowing up rail cars filled with chlorine gas?

Get him a mac.
I have no explanation for this, nor do I care. The inconsistency of experience only underscores my point, IMHO.

Not according to Delay and Abramoff.

How is this related to the topic? I have no idea.
I'm sure the MPIA/RIAA are going to be all over this.
So what was that disco floor thing a while back? Maybe it was they who were responsible for disco?

yuck it up, monkey-boy...
I remember ads that touted it's 'portablity' in that it had a handle... They even pimped a nifty soft carrying case for it.
